REGIONS, CITIES AND SMEs SHARE GOOD PRACTICES

Pioneering local and regional authorities and SMEs from across Europe already use satellite applications in their daily job. For the last seven years Eurisy has been collecting testimonials on how satellite applications have helped them in practice. Click on the map to see some success stories!

The applications resulting from these technological capabilities are often used together and in combination with data from a multitude of sources – whether field measurements, statistics, historical data, or even tweets – to deliver useful digital services that allow us to navigate, to make decisions, or to communicate in new ways.

EUROPEAN INVESTMENTS IN SPACE

Europe invests in satellite infrastructure through two major programmes, Galileo and Copernicus. The resulting applications are expected to bring growth, jobs, and better quality of life for Europe's citizens.

Galileo, Europe' own state-of-the-art Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), will provide accurate and guaranteed positioning for all types of civilian applications: including car navigators, mobile phones, maritime, road, rail and air transport. More on Galileo.

Copernicus, Europe's own Earth Observation system, will provide free, full and open access to a wealth of important environmental data from a variety of different sources, including satellite imagery. More on Copernicus.

EVENTS

The "Space and Society: bridging the missing links" project consists of a series of events from March to July, helping generate and maintain political support for current and future space programmes; raising awareness on a larger scale on the announced benefits from the European space policy; defining new and concrete actions to be implemented in this context. Eurisy is a contributor to the consortium of partners organising these events.

The event is an opportunity for SMEs working in non-space sectors to learn about new developments in the area of satellite applications for environment monitoring, risk management, maritime and coastal services, SIG, Big Data and POIs databases, telecoms, logistics and mobility. It is organised jointly by the Pôle Pégase, CNES and Eurisy.

This workshop will seek to make an inventory of the current precision agriculture solutions that have been proven to work, and of the needs and constraints of their users, in order to pave the way for a more extensive use of effective satellite services, whether based on EO or GNSS.
